Winter Composting

We don’t have any less food waste in the wintertime and many of us live in areas where it becomes difficult to compost when the frost sets in. These composters will continue to dispose of your food waste, even with snow on the ground.

In-Ground Worm Composters for the Winter

If you live in areas that only experience mild winter climates, simply insulating your vermicomposter will allow your worms to stay active all winter long. This can be done by adding layers of insulating material on top of your compost or even buying an electric heating pad. Keeping your compost above 55 degrees Fahrenheit will be ideal for worms to survive. The worms will process food slower, but you will still be able to dispose of your food scraps all winter long!
